I've read a couple posts but I'm not great with the programming aspect of spellcast as it is. I saw that Windower is no longer supporting Spellcast and I can't even download the plugin anymore.

Anyone have a guide or some tips to transitioning my XMLs from spellcast to gearswap?

Thanks!

This is probably the most comprehensive guide on the subject:

I'd recommend you go through it carefully and slowly. If you need a minor introduction in Lua programming, you can check out this:

Btw, Spellcast is still downloadable if you enter the Konami code on the plugin tab. That unlocks all unsupported plugins.

Mote has a rather good Gearswap system its good for someone who wants to just pick up and go but awful for learning how it works.

I tried that and the Nude Raider code and couldn't get it to work.

You need a game genie to get the Nude Raider code to work. The Konami code only works if Hideo Kojima is in a good mood because he is trolling video game players.

I don't mean to necro a thread, but I'm also doing that dreaded transition, and I will get it eventually, but I have a question.

Does Gearswap pull gear from your mog wardrobe?

Yes.

OMG THAT'S AWESOME.

I'm still trying to figure it all out, but this is good to know.

Does it pull from anything else (sack, sachel, etc.)?

Gear pulling from your wardrobe is a regular FFXI feature.

Oh is it? The feature was a nice addition to begin with (went from 80/80 to 67/80). The fact that it was innately made that way is even better.

Well, "pulling" is a figurative term. Pulling the sense of loading gear stored within for use in equipment, yes, but moving gear from your wardrobe to your inventory, no. You can, however, use a plugin/add-on called Itemizer to pull gear from any storage location into your inventory. You make a text file with all the commands and can put said text file into GearSwap as a command to activate when you load/unload your job.
